The Crown star in first look at royal role in The Wheel of Time season 3
The ruthless leader Queen Morgase Trakand makes her debut in season 3.
Prime Video has unveiled its first look at The Wheel of Time season 3, offering a glimpse at Olivia Williams as Queen Morgase Trakand, the ruler of Andor.
In the image above, the queen is stood next to Elaida do Avriny a’Roihan (Shohreh Aghdashloo) in what appears to be a royal court appearance – and they look as though they are to be feared.
There is plenty to look forward to in season 3 as Rand reunites with his friends at Falme and is declared the Dragon Reborn following his defeat of Ishamael at the end of season 2.
But things won't be smooth for long, as the synopsis reads: "The threats against the Light are multiplying: the White Tower stands divided, the Black Ajah run free, old enemies return to the Two Rivers, and the remaining Forsaken are in hot pursuit of the Dragon… including Lanfear, whose relationship with Rand will mark a crucial choice between Light and Dark for them both.
"As the ties to his past begin to unravel, and his corrupted power grows stronger, Rand becomes increasingly unrecognisable to his closest allies, Moiraine and Egwene.
"These powerful women, who started the series as teacher and student, must now work together to prevent the Dragon from turning to the Dark… no matter the cost."
Season 3 debuts on Prime Video on Thursday 13th March, and there is plenty to cover following season 2's finale, which introduced viewers to the villainous Moghedien.
In a teaser that was unveiled late last year, Moiraine and Rand can be seen beginning their journey to Aiel Waste, and with Rand's power growing stronger, Moiraine must prevent him from being corrupted – and that could very well mean sacrificing herself.
Viewers will have to wait and see how season 3 pans out to get in all the action.
